Hi, I am quite new in the Appwrite environment and could someone lighten me up on what is the difference between request with GraphQL and Query.select() it seems like both can get me to the same places which is getting just enough response that I need.

TL;DR
Query.select() allows you to specify which fields you want in the response while GraphQL is a more flexible and powerful way to query data. Both can give you the same result, but GraphQL offers more control and options in querying.
